Healing My Father Complex Tarot Spread
I recently made a tarot spread for Healing the Mother Wound and got a few requests to create one for father’s - so here you go!
What is a Father Complex?
”Father complex in psychology is a complex—a group of unconscious associations, or strong unconscious impulses—which specifically pertains to the image or archetype of the father. These impulses may be either positive (admiring and seeking out older father figures) or negative (distrusting or fearful).” - Wikipedia.
Although many associate “daddy issues” or the father complex with women, this concept relates to anyone of any gender. As a child, if you had a father figure who was unresponsive to your needs and emotionally or physically unavailable, it could cause you to have insecure attachments in your current relationships.
*Please note that I am not a trained professional nor do I condone using tarot to replace traditional therapy. This tarot spread can be a tool but should be used alongside other methods of healing.
